X-Plane FOV Optimiser – Get Your Perfect Field of View

Setting up your Field of View (FOV) in X-Plane can be a bit of a guessing game. Get it wrong, and you’ll either feel like you’re flying a telescope or sitting in the back row of an IMAX cinema. That’s where the X-Plane FOV Optimiser comes in, a simple, standalone tool designed to help you quickly find the optimal FOV for your setup.

Features:

• Accurate FOV Calculation – Input your monitor size, aspect ratio, and viewing distance, and get the correct FOV instantly.
• Easily switch between multiple monitor setups using the built-in monitor selection menu.
• VR Comparison Mode – See how your calculated FOV compares to popular VR headsets like the Valve Index, HTC Vive, Oculus Rift S, Oculus Quest 2, and HP Reverb G2 (approximate values based on manufacturer specs).
• Graphical Representation – No need to guess—get a clear visual display of your FOV.
• Accessibility Mode – High-contrast text for better readability.
• Save & Load Settings – No need to redo everything every time—just save and reload.
• Offline & Lightweight – Runs without an internet connection, unlike those free web calculators.

Why Use This Instead of a Free Online Calculator?

Yes, there are free FOV calculators online, but they are simple number generators without the extra features this tool offers. This tool is built specifically for simmers and includes extra features like VR comparison, accessibility mode, and save/load options. Plus, you don’t have to worry about web pages going down.

Because let’s be honest, you’ve probably spent more on a fancy coffee.
